Look, this team won a terrible division. Five of their seven wins came against backup QBs. Most opponents from outside the division, who had their starting QB, ran up 30+ points on this team. The schedule is much tougher next year. There are just too many holes to fill on both sides of the ball to say this team is close - on either side of the ball.
Not sorry. I'm not all in for just the next 3-5 years. I'm all in for the the next 5 years and the future beyond that, which means keep / resign your studs, fill some holes in free agency, and continue to build the team through the draft. If you can do that AND get Stafford/Watson - then by all means do that. But if you can't, then it's not a smart idea.

Just about every team is a few key injuries from not being relevant.
I also dont get how people are like "I am for the future" In the current NFL state either you win now or you don't have a future. So for everyone who is saying build through the draft and FA, who is this QB you expect us to get?
I'd like to point out Ryan Tannehill who was traded for and has helped turn the Titans into contenders which is something Mariotta couldn't do. He is also 32, so I ask who do you all think is better Tannehill or Stafford??
